Playing devil's advocate and not intending to annoy anyone, he might mean investment in terms of time and effort, I've both managed services for clients and insourced as a marketing and ops director and often a pilot is about testing a new or developing product/service and making iterations (think AGILE sprints etc.) and once successful moving to full implementation and then using the pilot as a selling aid through evidence of practical application and testimonials from the clients.
Don't get me wrong, I really am bullish about DEV and believe in them but there is also a lot of work in localising and globalising software too so they have some work ahead yet but very very promising especially as Lenovo will be the partner, I've worked twice for a global IT company and while a lot of work its very doable with teh right resources and experience so I am excited by their prospects :-)
I've also looked at their career site and it is an excellent implementation of this kind of career assistance tool - I was impressed by the ease of use, functionality, visuals, responsiveness and logic of the site. It should be very helpful for both younger users and also older more Luddite users in job centres etc. needig to upskill and find new careers.
